Which Listeners are mandatory in web.xml

[Yogesh Hingmire]

Hello People,

Out of the 8 Listeners,

ServletContextListener
ServletContextAttributeListener

ServletRequestListener
ServletRequestAttributeListener

HttpSessionListener
HttpSessionAttributeListener

HttpSessionBindingListener
HttpSessionActivationListener

Which of them are mandatory from declaration in the web.xml point of view.

Thanks for the help

Regards,
Yogesh.

You only need to remember that both HttpSessionActivationListener and HttpSessionBindingListener are not.

Only these Listeners are mandatory.

following listeners need not be specfied in the web.xml, if your using HFSJ, pls check the errata there is a correction on this.

HttpSessionBindingListener
HttpSessionActivationListener

for Bhavana: Think these attributes are for the containers to take care off.

Hi,

Following is my understading about the Activation and Bonding Listeners.

The HttpSessionActivationListener and HttpSessionBindingLister are implemented by the attribute classes , which are added as session attributes.

HttpSessionActivationListener is notified when the attribute implementing it is migrated to another JVM.

HttpSessionBindingListeren is notified when the attribute implementing is is bounded or unbounded to session.

For the other attributes which are not implementing these Listeners, are not notified for the above events.

So for both there is no need to register in web.xml, because these are related to the attributes added to the session.

Alll other 6 listerers are related to lifecycle and attributes added to different scopes, so the container require to register it.

Hope this help.

Thanks
